2021 wiperhunter's Garden

[jjannie]

Here is that pic from my first yellow squash of 2021. My zucchini plants have a lot of blossoms but none are producing yet.

Guess I haven't been posting much since the garden kicked into high gear, getting between 8 and 10 Zucchini and yellow squash every other day. Although they are nowhere near the size of the 30 lb watermelon I got from my old garden, I am starting to get a few, the largest was 7.5 lb. Also got a couple of cantaloupe, also pretty small, likely only a few lbs. Two days ago I finally got 5 green beans and today I got 20, so they are about ready to finally take off.

we gave up on the watermelons this year and thought we'd focus on cantaloupe - but so far they are only up to golf ball sized! Did a big harvest of bush beans, got 2 three pound bags full, Didn't even get to the pole beans in the greenhouse before we ran out of time.

Yea, to get decent sized watermelons they need a lot of room. These watermelon I've been picking are the largest I have been able to grow since I had to relocate my garden. Wow, that is a lot of green beans(GB). My count on my GB went up to 65 yesterday.

We're hoping once we get back home from our trip we'll be busy harvesting/preserving. Jeff saw a cantaloupe that was a little bigger than a golf ball, maybe baseball-sized, so look forward to seeing once we are home again....
